A sketch diet

With all the sketching I'm doing lately for my newspaper blog, I'm actually missing out on the enjoyment of sketching opportunities that just come up with no previous planning. I'm trying to put a stop to that allowing myself to draw half-baked, 8 or 10 minutes spreads like these ones. One a day at least. It's like a sketch diet.

Beautiful. A detailed sketch is fine, but there's something about the economy and immediacy of these that I love.

Gabi, effective and strong. Seems a good idea to restrict yourself in time.
